There is no hunch The First Beta you took using 2015 Method, upgraded you to the original Beta from January Which was running 5.0.653 for Buzz 5 We sent an app OTA to that version a few days ago to upgrade all users to Version 5.0.766 As stated in another thread. Our servers automatically detect boxes that are running Version 5.0.653 and send them an update automatically to Version 5.0.766. Hope this clarifies everything for you now And hopefully you enjoy Buzz 5 Thanks

I appreciate the testing I was only asking if you were posting this because you were having an issue or not so we could help The feedback is great as well

I doubt any of them do As its their way of encrypting the streams.

Is this good or bad? Sorry just confused by posting so many test results for recording.

It tries to keep recording for 2 minutes if a stream buffers or becomes corrupted The issue with most servers is they use Dynamic URLs, so if the stream buffers or disconnects on the server side for more than 2 minutes. When it fixes itself, it creates a new Dynamic url, therefore the recording cannot continue and finishes.

Can you please explain more?

Yes basically These are the plans moving forward 1. New FW OTAs will be sent to all Android 9 Models on Buzz 4 Existing users on Buzz 4 Can stay there If they choose to go to buzz 5 they can with 2015 We have updated the 2015 method on this Buzz 4 FW Update, to now automatically retrieve the latest Beta Update. There won't be anymore waiting around for your MAC to be added. You will just need to be running the newest version of FW we send out for Buzz 4. We made the decision to have Public users stay on Buzz 4, as there are just way too many changes to Buzz 5. So not all users will like these changes. So now they will have the option to move to Buzz 5 on their own and it will be a much easier process. 2. All Android 9 Models will have a newer Buzz 5 FW Update available for it, which will include version 5.0.766 or newer + FW Changes and Fixes. 3. XRS 4900s which are currently running Buzz 5, will get a New Public OTA of Buzz 5 FW, which will include version 5.0.766 or newer + FW Changes and Fixes 4. All new Android 9 boxes sold Will automatically get Buzz 5 FW + App. We will announce when this starts to happen. All 4 things above are scheduled to happen over the next 1-3 weeks.

Thanks If you're on our weekly Beta updates, you would have already received this update.

And sorry forgot to mention 4900s should get OTA FW as well to this latest version next week as well

All of our Android 9 models E2s, 4500s, 4000s,4200s, Vidsticks. This is for users that took original public beta. X5, U5, HD5 will get the same update via OTA FW next week.

Press Menu PVR PVR Options Extra Recording Time, set how many minutes you want all recordings to make to have time added to the end time. 2. Press Menu PVR Scheduled Recordings Highlight the Recording you want to edit Press the yellow button to edit it You can change the end time on here and save it.

Try primary again And press the green button to turn audio back on It should work

I replied to your Ticket/Email through tech support As this exact ticket/writing was in the email you sent Please try it It should resolve your issue Thanks

So where did you read that it doesn't work then on the X5?

Via Passthrough on HDMI? And which apps?

Its to be used with a PC It allows you to grab any data that is on the Hard Drive you have installed on the box.

It usually means there is a background app running that Android cannot close when put into standby.

Via Passthrough yes

Thanks for the suggestion This is something we don't plan to do at this time though.

Gets what he wants and still finds a way to complain about it..lol

Anyhow The update was sent to you just now Latest Firmware + Buzz 5 App update. So please check for it Download + Install it Thanks

We have said numerous times You can PM the Serial # instead to me We send this a few times already via PM and get no reply All you do on here is Spam Post with complaints, when were offering you a solution

You have PM me before And we asked for your serial # instead of MAC I got no reply when I asked that question I don't understand what the issue is with providing the MAC or Serial # We only use it to identify the box on our side, so we can send it an OTA. We do the same thing for Public OTAs, its just a much bigger group is all.

Well you can program the Buzz Remote to your Sony Sound Bar This explains how to do that We don't have the remote codes you're looking for.
